Well this is going to come as a shock to the elites. Turns out Australians are pretty concerned about

parents rights.

They do want to know if their kids are being taught radical ideas like gender fluidity. They do think they should have the rights to pull their

kids from these types of classes. And they are more likely to back a political party or candidate for election who shares their values.

Binary is proud to present this report to you – thank you.

We will now make sure that this is sent to and read by as many politicians as we can.

Thankyou

SummaryThanks to support from thousands of donors, Binary was able to launch the largest public opinion survey into the issue of parents rights and the transgender agenda in Australian history.

The poll was conducted in March 2020 and has been independently weighted and analysed to accurately reflect the geography and demography of Australia.

3842 interviews were completed by Australians from every corner of the country.

With these numbers, we can be sure that the margin of error for the national results is 1.6%.

This number is slightly higher at a State level with an average margin of error of 3.8%.

On the key issue of parents rights, the results of the poll are emphatic. Australians strongly support parents rights to know if their kids are being taught that their gender can change based on how they feel.

Further, a strong majority of Australians believe that parents should have the right to remove kids from classes that teach gender fluidity.

Finally, we now know for sure that politicians around the country cannot ignore this issue. A strong majority of voters would be more likely to support a candidate or party that was committed to laws that enshrined parents rights explicitly.

Key Findings

PARENTS SHOULD KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON AND BE ABLE

TO PULL KIDS OUT

Currently across the country, we know that there are activist public servants, teachers and state governments that are seeking to implement a radical gender agenda. In the most part they seek to do this without parental knowledge or consent.

Our national polling shows this is a critical issue for parents.

Nationally, 78% of parents want to know what their kids are being taught, and want the right to pull their kids from classes that don’t share their values.

At a state level, this number was highest in WA and Qld at 84% and 83% respectively.

The issue is also overwhelmingly bipartisan with 72% of ALP voters and 88% of Coalition voters supporting this measure.

Only Greens voters were out of step with the rest of the country and even then 46% of their voters were supportive of parents rights.

Q. Do you believe that parents should be entitled to know what their child is being taught and to remove them from classes that teach them that gender can change based on how they feel?

SUPPORTING POLITICAL CANDIDATES AND PARTIES

In every single state, Australians were more likely to vote for a candidate or party that supported changing the law to guarantee parents rights.

54% of voters nationally indicated their support, 24% indicated they were not supportive, and 21% indicated no impact at all.

This number was highest among WA voters at 62%.

71% of Coalition voters were strongly supportive of this measure, and this was even stronger among OneNation voters at 74%.

Labor voters were divided on the issue with 42% supportive of a candidate or party changing the law, 30% less likely to support, and 28% saying the issue would have no impact on their vote.

Again, the Greens were out of touch with the rest of the country with only 15% of their voters supporting a change in the law.
